Like a magic lantern show.
Thirty years or more were taken
From the tally sheet of life;
Thirty years o. work an worry,
Disappointment, care and strife.

Promised me in lovin' tone,
And hand that now is pulseless
Lay contented in my own.
While the faces that have vanished,

How Sayaces Fight S!.4sAs.


The greatest danger to be fe AIRED
in the presence of shark is the pa
ralysis of fear Sharks unless very
hungry VII net attack man while
in motion. They swim around with
longing eyes waiting for one moment
when their victims shall remain quiet
and then make their onslaught. On
the coast of Africa the natives fight
sharks fearlessly. They enter the
ocean naked, having first oiled their
bodies in order that they may slide
through the water easily. Their on
ly weapon is stout suck about two
feet in length sharpened at both ends
The water is so clear that they can
see for hundreds of feet around them.
When a shark swims toward them
they wait until the moment he turns
on his back, and as he opens his jaws
to seize them they thrust the stick
crosswise into his mouth and swim
off, The sharks mouth being held
open by the stick, he is soon drown
ed, when the natives tow him ashore
and feast upon his nesh.-Neu YORK

Rustic Russian in DANGER.

have already alluded to the FREE
quency with which the simple rustics
seek to avert danger by the signs OF
the cross; during this thunder storm
it positively assumed the form of a
grotesque, gymnastic exercise, being
done simultaneously by 80 many.
With each clap of thunder every man,
woman and child, stricken with in
slant terror and hushed into breath
less silence, fell into a paroxysm of
rapid crossing which continued
about quarter of minute, and
then, with an apparent conscious
ness of security, opened conversation
again. An amusing feature of their
picturesque evolutions was the fact
that they followed each roll of thun-
der, while every fash of lightning
